The
Jeanne Sauvé Foundation is pleased to announce that it is currently accepting
applications for the Jeanne Sauvé Public Leadership Program. The
Jeanne Sauvé Public Leadership

Program is a unique fellowship opportunity:

Year
one consists in a full-time intensive residential phase in Montreal for a group
of a dozen select Fellows.

Year two is a part-time field phase tailored to each
individual Fellow’s activities in their respective communities and countries.

Residential
Phase - Full Time

Twelve
emerging public leaders from Canada and around the world who share a passion
for strengthening culturally diverse societies live together in a beautifully
restored historic home in the heart of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Fellows
collectively design and undertake a facilitated project that culminates in a
series of public engagement activities addressing the challenge of
strengthening culturally diverse societies through public leadership.

Tailored
leadership development programming with a focus on the skills necessary for
public leadership

Personal
coaching in support of participants’ leadership development

Guidance
from academic and professional mentors at the top of their fields

The
time, space and liberty to pursue individual initiatives in a supportive
environment

Free
accommodation at Jeanne Sauvé House.

A
stipend to cover basic costs of living in Montreal

The
residential phase of the Jeanne Sauvé Public Leadership Program represents a
full-time (40 hours per week) commitment.

On
average, about half of participants’ time (20 hours per week) is devoted to the
common program, including time spent working on the collective project. Their
remaining time is devoted to individual pursuits and personal reflection in a
supportive, semi-structured environment.

Field
Phase - Part Time

Fellows
continue on their individual public leadership journeys – either in their home
countries or elsewhere, and either through continued work or study. During this
phase, participants:

Continue
to exchange with their fellow program participants on a regular basis

Report
consistently to the Foundation.

Have
access to the Fellows’ Collaboration Fund

The
field phase of the Jeanne Sauvé Public Leadership Program requires a commitment
of about 8 hours per month.

Participation
happens remotely, via phone, Skype, or Email, as participants may be living
anywhere in the world. Fellows who wish to collaborate more extensively are
encouraged to do so during this phase. At
the conclusion of the Field Phase of the program, participants are expected to
return to Montreal for the program’s Concluding Session.

Over
about a week, participants formally report to the Jeanne Sauvé Foundation and
to one another on how they have applied – and plan to apply – what they learned
through the program.

This
Concluding Session overlaps with the arrival of a new cohort of program
participants, allowing Jeanne Sauvé Fellows from two distinct cohorts to begin
to collaborate and exchange.

Global
Fellowship

After
completing the program, participants continue to exchange, learn, and take
action as part of a growing network of Jeanne Sauvé Fellows.

This
global community of public leaders collaborates across cultures, countries,
disciplines and sectors to address issues of global significance.
